Vista 64-Bit BSOD with iTunes v8.0.2.20 & AppleTV v2.3

Before upgrading iTunes, everything worked perfectly - AppleTV, Syns & iTunes.
Since upgrading to iTunes 8.0.2.20, my Vista 64-Bit Home Premium blue screens (BSOD). This occurs when I have simply had iTunes playing some music after a while, or more often than not, when trying to Sync with the AppleTV running v2.3
I also get he silly port error on iTunes saying that the AppleTV. I can only resolve this either quiting iTunes and waiting about 5 minutes or quitting iTunes AND rebooting the AppleTV!
Have searched Apple forums, Google, etc. and am the end of my patience!
Can someone suggest what I should do.

Mate, you are my HERO!!!!!
I had the EXACT same problem but on 2G iPhone 8GB, v2.2.1 and taking several hours to get to 60% done, then craps out with some arcane error message.
I followed previous threads and other forum suggestions to:
a) Clear out corrupted backups
b) Reset iPhone
c) Even removed Stanza, which someone suggested could be the problem as he had alot of eBooks on it
But none worked for me.
I do have AppSniper and used it daily for what must have been several months.... so imagine all those icons cached on it with nearly 100 new apps displayed daily! It took over 2mins to clear the cache, and I now have "Show Icon" disabled.
The backup FINALLY WORKED!!!!
It took just over 15mins to backup, and I'm proud to say that I can see the backup intact on the iTunes Preferences > Devices panel!!!!
You are my hero! Thank you thank you thank you for putting up this solution!!!!!
BTW, I loved Monsters, Inc too!
If you ever stop by Hong Kong, I'll buy you a drink!

  • CS4 on Vista 64-Bit Sys with a BMD Card

    Installed CS4 on Vista 64-Bit sys with a BMD HD card.
    However, CS4 does not see the BMD presets, etc., so the only options I have are those Adobe includes with CS4. I uninstalled the BMD drives, etc. and reinstalled a number of times. The BMD presets are not installed in CS4's "settings" folder or anywhere else.
    It may be that the current BMD driver is not CS4-capable, because I manually placed the BMD presets in the CS4 settings folder, and they weren't "seen."
    Any thoughts from those folks running a BMD card?
    Thanks,
    Bill Buchanan

    Albert, there are no BMD drivers for CS4 aviable yet. You must wait for new drivers from BMD.

  • IPod Touch gives BSOD with iTunes 8 and Windows Vista

    For almost a year I have used my iPod Touch (v1.1.3) and Nano with Windows Vista and iTunes almost perfectly. This was until last week when I upgraded to v8.
    Now iTunes still works well with the Nano but i get the BSOD when I try and plug in the Touch. I have never had the BSOD with Vista until now.
    I have read that alot of other people are having a similar problem. Is there a fix to this? New driver?
    Please tell me Apple are aware of this problem and generating a fix if its not already done.
    many thanks

    I have a similar problem, with my new iPod Touch crashing an XP Professional setup. It's worth noting that the Apple article also talks about potential USB conflicts with other devices on the system that might have bad drivers. They say the solution, if that is the fault, is to make sure all your USB drivers are good. I'll try that, by a process of elimination, before re-installing iTunes (as I thought I had the latest version and I don't have Vista). I'll come back here later to report the outcome.
    (serious if your iPod crashed your PC - can't even charge its battery ! )

  • ITunes 7.6 and Vista 32 bit - Songs in iTunes won't start to play

    I have songs loaded into my iTunes Library but when I click them to play, they won't start. I didn't have this problem at first, but now I do.
    I loaded about 20 iTunes songs and played them, but now they won't start and I can't load any more songs. Also, the mp3 files on a CD won't start either.
    Running MS Vista 32 bit, iTunes 7.6, with an E-MU 0404 external audio card (usb 2.0).

    B Noir-
    Thanks for the reply. What exactly does that command exactly do? Very strange what is going on. Like I said earlier my computer is authorized yet I am still getting the screen below when I try to open a TV show I've purchased. Itunes is already open so not sure why I am being asked to open it again. When I do click on open Itunes, I get another screen that says waiting for Itunes to authorize.... I wait like 5 minutes and then it says not able to contact Itunes and to make sure I have Itunes 4 or greater.
    HELP!

  • Vista SP1 update problems with itunes after

    Hello,
    After installing the SP1 Vista update, i cant play music anymore with itunes.
    the play button doesnt work anymore. After installing (repairing) itunes again? it still doesnt work.

    Well, a little update. I plugged my phone back into my laptop, went into iTunes again though the computer, and let it sync again. Unplugged it, and the same thing happened again. I shut the phone off, then turned it on again, recharged the battery on the wall charger and it seems to be working OK now.
    Every now and then my App Store will not open, and certian apps will crash, but a little better than before.
    I'll tell you what, Apple really dropped the ball with the 4.0 update for us 3G users it looks like

  • Major Problems with itunes 10.4.1 and appletv

    Is anyone having issues with the 10.4.1 upgrade of iTunes? Specifically, I use itunes to create movie playlists for my appletv, and
    today I was trying to create a new playlist; I always add the movie file to itunes, then  "convert file for appletv". This is a nice
    compression within itunes.  But, everytime I highlight the file, click "convert" itunes crashes! I have tried several versions of the
    quicktime file, and still.. crash after crash.  In the side bar, "converting" appears, but as soon as I touch the mouse, the spinning wheel
    of dread comes my way.  Any advice? I desperately need to add this file to my appletv for a presentation tomorrow!

  • Vista 64 bit OS and iTunes

    I am getting an error message when initializing iTunes.
    iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CD's
    you need to reinstall iTunes.
    I uninstalled, cleaned the reg, and reloaded a few times.
    Diagnostic DVD/CD test results "Upper Filter Status Failed" (no CD Rom Driver found)
    All seems to be working ok otherwise and CD's seem to be importing OK

    iTunes doesn't officially support 64 bit Windows and the 64 bit Gear drivers you need for burning arn't supplied. You can download them from here:

    A number of people also had problems with the creation of the CD configuration folder, but as your iTunes is working, I guess that doesn't apply to you.

  • Windows Vista Aero theme - incompatible with iTunes?

    Whenever I boot up my laptop I get an error saying iTunes is stopping my Vista Aero theme from showing. When I go to task manager and end the ituneshelper.exe module process, the Aero theme is then accessible.
    I know the ituneshelper.exe is an important module to allow to run, but I really don't want it interfering with my Vista theme. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Help would be so much appreciated.

    OK I figured out the problem:
    I had installed Quicktime Alternative which screwed up iTunes since it requires the very newest version of Quicktime to be installed.
    Moral of this story: Don't install Quicktime Alternative

  • BSOD with iTunes 7.0, 7.0.1

    Since installing iTunes 7, my windows computer crashes with a blue screen of death EVERY time I run the program. I am using XP Home and this NEVER happens with ANY other program...It seems that it is trying to analyze gap-free information for all the songs in my library...there are about 30,000 songs...it is also downloading podcasts when the BSOD occurs.
    1. What gives? Anyone else having this happen to them? If so, is there a workaround?
    2. Can I roll back to iTunes version 6.x?
    3. Whaaaaaaaaaaaa!
    Thanks in advance,

    INVALIDPROCESS_ATTACHATTEMPT
    good lord, jeroly. that's the first time i've ever seen a 0x05 in an itunes context.
    Microsoft has some information on that one:
    You receive the Stop error "Stop 0x05 (INVALIDPROCESS_ATTACHATTEMPT)" in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Server 2003
    ... but if no joy with that, let's get a minidump to the Apple Engineers for a look.
    To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
    collect the minidump, and send it as an attachment to this email address.
    in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
    - A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    - The username you are using in the thread
    - The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
    - The version of Windows you are using
    - A concise description of the issue you are seeing
    - The exact text of the error message you are seeing

  • In Windows Vista business 64 bits...Itunes can't load data information class...

    Can't sync Iphone 4 with Itunes versión 10.7.0.21, in Windows Vista business 64 bits. Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling and also finding sqlite3.dll and the other dll... and nothing. Renamed the sycservices folder and nothing, copied corefoundations.dll and folder to system32 and nothing...
    This is becoming very annoying... any tips?.
    Thanks.

    Hi!,
        Thanks for your reply but I keep having the problem. I've been investigation through the Internet and I beleive is a COM situation or something is in conflict with iTunes, either way I manage to compare a similar environment (Win Vista 64 bits Business with iTunes running) and figured out that process "Syncserver.exe" is not running and neither is running "ATH.exe".
        I'm reading more about what could possible causing these two process from being executing as they should.
        Thanks.

  • ITunes music videos in Vista 32-bit

    I switched my iTunes library from a desktop to a laptop running Windows Vista 32-bit OS with iTunes 7.6.1.9, and I felt the easiest way would be to usde the Add Folder feature to move the entire iTunes music folder to the new library on my LAN. My problem has been, for the past few months, that my library no longer shows a music video section. All the videos I have bought are still in the music section of the library, and the videos play correctly, but I cannot watch them when exported to my iPod. I do not know if this is because of the newer version of iTunes, or because of how i transfered the files to the new computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That is not the problem. I have my videos section showing, and tv shows, and i have videos in both. however, my music videos only show up in the music section of the library. I can play the music videos on my computer and watch them, but when they are transferred to my iPod, there is no section for music videos. I can play them usic video file from the music section of the iPod, but it just plays the audio.

  • ITunes Causing Vista BSOD with RAID Errors

    This thread is here to collate as much information and posts on the problem regarding BSODs occuring in Windows Vista and causing RAID errors to occur.
    What Happens: Start iTunes and start performing a hard drive intensive task (Importing, converting etc). iTunes will seem to 'freeze', in some cases up to five minutes, but will regardless cause Windows Vista to BSOD. On restart the RAID array will complain of errors. Most cases are that restarting again and clearing the error will be fine, though there are some reports that people have had to rebuild their array.
    Common Elements: Windows Vista, iTunes, Intel RAID Chipsets (ICH6R, ICH7R and ICH8R chipsets reported so far.

    Custom Intel based Generic PC   Windows XP Pro   750GB NAS Storage, DVDRW DL, 5th Gen 80GB iPod, 2nd Gen 8GB Nano (Both Black)
    I'm running a dual boot with WinXP Pro SP2 as the primary OS, Vista RC1 on separate partition. I had Vista Ultimate (RC1) Release Candidate 1, a pre-release version of Vista up and running with iTunes version 7.1.1. Updating My Library, when system crashed and trashed my array.
    I was running 2 400GB WD's when my RAID 1 erred. The array corrupted and after limping through several array rebuilds and Windows repairs, Win XP finally died and was unrecoverable.
    I originally suspected an issue with Vista & iTunes, especially since I was running a pre-release version of Vista then I remembered reading a recent WD Support issue about some newer WD SATA Gen 2 drives failing in RAID arrays.
    To make a long story short, thank God for my back-up NAS Drives, I lost my array. Traced the problem to a Raid compatibility issue with the WD drives running in full SATA ATA Gen 2 transfer rate mode and the Intel ICHR8 SATA RAID Controller. They don't play nice together when stressed with large file transfers. Replaced WD's with two Seagate 750's in RAID 1, running full SATA Gen 2 mode and have had no problems since.
    Check out WD's Support forums, if you have newer WD's I'll bet it's a SATA RAID / Drive issue more than iTunes and Vista.

  • PE 4 crashes on render, export and preview with Vista 64 bit

    I just installed my PE 4 on a new Windows Vista 64 bit machine with the i7 920 processor and 512 MB ATI Radeon video card.  PE 4 worked fine on my XP machine but I cannot get it to render, export or even let me preview on this new maching.  I have followed the advise of updating all drivers and software and uninstall and reinstalling with nothing running and I get the same error repeatedly - it will render and progress for about 5 seconds and then I get "Adobe Premiere Elements.exe has stopped working" and it closes.  The video clips are from a flash memory camera and the Presets set for widescreen - flash memory.  Everything works normally until I try to view or render the files.  Any suggestions?

    You say this is from a flash memory camcorder? Can  you be more specific?
    Webbie camcorders, like the Flip, may shoot in hi-def, but they also record to a non-standard codec that can cause some of the problems you're describing.
